"Drink - Shadow Clone Technique -"
When the sun rose, the sound of Tadokoro Konno practicing ninjutsu could be heard in the garden of the Duke's Castle. He was constantly tempering chakra against a wooden stake.
Fatty had a rather lazy temperament, but his two months on the run in the Western Continent made him deeply aware of the importance of running away, and he decided to make his talent bigger and stronger. Peter was woken up and leaned on the balcony of the room, watching him escape in boredom.
It has been two months since I traveled to the world of Terra.
After escaping from Butan City, although he encountered some strange things, he finally managed to cross the Western Continent without any danger and escorted the Duke home.
His understanding of this different world has been continuously refreshed in the past two months.
The world map of Terra is slightly different from that in the game, but it is still roughly the same.
Four connected continents, surrounding an extremely vast saltwater lake, constitute the main body of human society.
Occupying many small countries and tribes, the Western Continent is dominated by mountains and plateaus;
The southern continent has the most developed civilization and the kings’ regime has lasted for thousands of years;
The Eastern Continent consists of an archipelago and is dominated by the "Eastern Commonwealth", a constitutional monarchy;
And the Northern Continent, which is the largest in area, has two separate powers, and is dominated by the "Emperor" and the "Witch King".
The continental area is similar to that of the earth. After leaving the computer screen and measuring the earth with his feet, Peter deeply felt the vastness of the world.
and differences in civilization.
To put it simply, it is the same thing as the game world, but not the same thing.
That state of vitality and all things competing is still before our eyes.
Peter guesses that the current timeline is after the game timeline, and that it has developed for at least thousands of years before it makes sense.
Monsters were hunted out of human settlements, and the Demon King's Army occasionally appeared in history, but unlike the powerful dynasty that ravaged the world in the game, being beaten and driven out almost every time was no longer a problem that humans needed to worry about.
There are no immortals, no undead plagues, all mentally ill people have been sent to the hospital, and all the darkness of ancient civilizations seems to have never happened.
The sun shines warmly on the earth, human beings thrive, and the civilization in some places has even reached the level of the first half of the 20th century. Peter traveled day and night, riding a horse for more than a month before leaving the Western Continent. When he arrived in the Southern Continent, the means of transportation changed to a train, and he arrived in Bavaria in less than five days.
This transformation of civilization made him feel as if he was from another world.
Peter wondered if he had entered the wrong game. The tone of Genshen, who had a soul-based world view, should have been dark, deep and cruel...
But that's not the case.
Although today's world cannot be said to be very beautiful, it has absolutely nothing to do with Heishencan. It's not even feudal and backward. It's a society ruled by a monarch with a magical civilization, and it's developing quite well.
During this time, apart from chatting with Harry on the carriage, I had more personal experiences.
The Western Continent is indeed in the flames of war, but the most fiercely fought area is the Yangen Plain in the center. After leaving the plains, although the impact of the war can still be felt in the cities of the countries in the Western Continent, they are still relatively stable.
Sudan is located in the north of the Western Continent. The members of Team 86 who fled south easily escaped the pursuit. The second half of the journey seemed more like a tourist trip to Peter.
A chaotically planned city, winding and narrow residential areas, domes or spires, buildings with Middle Eastern or Indian characteristics, people who generally believe in the sun god, the streets are full of camels or beasts of burden, white cloth is preferred for clothing, and grains are the food. Or mainly barbecue, religious schools, public baths, nomadic market towns, barter...
It is not very developed, just like the civilization of the Western Regions in the Middle Ages. Agriculture and animal husbandry are in their infancy, and there is basically no industry. At night, except for the centers of big cities, it is pitch black, and the only daily entertainment is pornography, gambling, and drugs, which is in line with Peter's imagination of the indigenous people of the other world.
But after passing through the Hengduan Mountains that blocked the continent and arriving at the Southern Continent, everything changed.
A huge city appeared in front of Peter's eyes.
Customs houses, railroad tracks, chimneys, plantations, textile mills, steel mills...
Shops, businesses, newspapers, glass, oil lamps, steam engines, magic electricity...
This bustling street scene shrouded in mist is like the London riverside in the twentieth century.
The emergence of such a developed civilization in another world shocked Peter as much as seeing Pol Pot modernizing.
For more than ten days, I pretended to be a country bumpkin and made a fuss, but then I gradually understood everything.
It turns out that I really am a country bumpkin.
Bavaria, where Peter is now, is one of the great powers of the Southern Continent, and it is also the first country in Terra to experience the Magical Industrial Revolution. It has benefited greatly from it, and its comprehensive national strength ranks among the top three in the Southern Continent. In general, Bavaria's political ecology has been stable for more than a thousand years, and it is not surprising that it has developed to this extent.
The consuls and the judicial system were responsible for day-to-day administration and were accountable to the king. The upper echelon of power was basically divided between several noble families headed by Ortiz. Most of these families lasted for thousands of years, had deep roots, and were deeply trusted by the king. They have their own garrisons in the territory to protect the royal family. The royal family reciprocated and allowed them to enjoy rights in the country. The prototype of capital appeared, and due to the liberation of productivity brought by the magic industry, the two lived in peace and harmony for thousands of years.
"Bavaria... there's not much to say. It's only a week away from my home by train... Oh, I'm from Rowan. The geographical environment of the two sides is relatively close. But the Bavarians are not as rigid as the Rowan people. , the culture is more open, and there are economic and military differences, but these... you can buy some books by critics, they know more than me."
Harry seemed very uninterested in politics.
"I don't pay much attention to that."
Grand Duke Ortiz, also known as Mr. Edmund, as the most prominent nobleman in Bavaria, owns an entire province as his territory-Vol Province. Harry and Fatty had always told Peter that this guy was very rich, but after being together in a carriage for more than a month, Peter was a modern person, so there was no barrier between them, and neither of them had a very intuitive understanding of the so-called "rich". Cognition. It wasn't until we actually arrived at their territory that we realized how big a giant crocodile this was.
The Wall Province covers an area of 1.5 million square kilometers and has a population of nearly 10 million. It ranks first among the Bavarian provinces in terms of wealth. It owns 25% of the country's total iron ore and 70% of its mithril mine...
Edmund even monopolized the tobacco business in Bavaria. His residence was like a country within a country. A complex of castle buildings covering an area of more than 10,000 acres stood in the middle of the plain, looking like Buckingham Palace from a distance.
Team 86, who had developed a deep friendship with the Duke, were treated as distinguished guests. A separate mansion in the manor was arranged for four people to live in, with housekeepers, maids, and chefs all provided. The wealthy Edmund said that you can stay as long as you want, and then hurried to the royal city to find the king's return.
The search for the unmarked lantern was an order from the King of Bavaria. This thing is now in Peter's system backpack. It is the only thing marked by the system after coming to this world. It may be of great use in the future. Anyway, Peter moved his hands and pushed the tiles all over his body, and suddenly disappeared. After all, there was no place to hide anything on him. It was really gone, and it’s not my fault. Believe it or not.
For some reason, the Duke actually believed this statement, and now he is ready to ask His Majesty the King to settle the score with Letania.
Peter successfully bought a relative in Guangzhou for zero yuan, food and transportation, it is better not to know him than to know him!
I have been staying in Ortiz Manor for a week. It is more comfortable than a five-star hotel. The sugar-coated bullets of the capitalists easily broke through Peter's psychological defense, and he felt a little happy about the earth.
Team 86 did not break up. The fat man Tadokoro Konno seemed to be a young master from the Eastern Continent. He was kidnapped to the Western Continent and sold to the Sudan as cannon fodder. Although he was not killed, the warning was quite strong. The fat man became suspicious when he mentioned his family. He planned to live in the Duke for a year and a half, and then go to join his relatives in Ron Kingdom at the end of the year.
Harry was weird.
He claimed that he was interested in the Ortiz family's collection of books and said he would go back after reading enough. But he almost always hangs around Peter during the day, just like that ambiguous female roommate, sitting in Peter's room with a magic book, and peeking at him from time to time, which makes Peter's hair stand on end and he can't help but doubt Brother Potter's sexual orientation. You don't want to pick me up, do you?
Kai is very pure, he is a simple boy. As a person who has escaped from high-level tastes, Peter has not seen him these days. The only communication he had was that he was caught by the police during the anti-pornography campaign and asked Harry to ransom him.
Although the military tent containing the savings of Team 86 was blown up due to a night attack by the rebels, the Duke did not ask for the royal inheritance he received from Tino, so the four of them divided it. In addition to the jewelry, there was also a promissory note from the Clock Tower Bank. From the promissory note alone, each person received more than three thousand gold pounds, which was a huge amount of money.
Thanks to the stable political situation in the southern continent of the world's economic center, there is only one currency in circulation on Terra - Sun Coin.
Gold pounds, silver pounds, and pennies imprinted with the Sun Totem of the Church of Light.
Gold pounds and silver pounds are coins made of gold or silver. The scarcity of precious metals guarantees the value of these two currencies.
The pennies are more like a product under the gold standard. Only the mints established by the Church of Light in various countries have the right to produce them. Although the exchange rate will fluctuate with the amount of precious metals mined, it generally remains at about 1 gold pound: 10 silver pounds: 1,500 pence. It takes 150 pennies to exchange for one silver pound.
The average male worker in Wall Province earns about 20 to 25 pence a day, and the money he can earn in a month is only about four silver pounds. It takes an ordinary worker eight hundred years of work without food or water to earn three thousand gold coins. The exchange rate for gold fluctuates.
Unexpectedly, in just two months, Peter had already become a millionaire. This money was enough for him to live peacefully in Bavaria for a lifetime.
In his previous life, Peter's high school grades were quite satisfactory and he was successfully admitted to the civil engineering major. Although the family is not wealthy, it is not a poverty-stricken family. It is an ordinary well-off family. Unexpectedly, he met Bole as soon as he entered the construction site and immediately recognized him as a cow or horse. From then on, he lived in the fantasy of running around with a bucket every day. The only fun was surfing the Internet or playing with the God of Origin. I thought I would live like this for thirty years until my blood sugar collapsed——
Unexpectedly, the boss hired a black truck to transport cement in order to save money, and the driver kicked Peter into another world.
The feeling of living in a different world again was very novel to him. He didn't have to be stuck at the construction site every day, without the pressures of life and family, and he didn't have to think about how to deal with Party A every night. Having gained extraordinary power and no mission of suffering or hatred, everything is incredibly free. Although I feel a little reluctant to leave my family and friends, I have to admit that this world may not be bad.
Peter was thinking one night, maybe because I have defeated the devil so many times in the game and saved Terra so many times, fate decided to give me a reward for this brave man?
I was woken up by the fat man in the morning, and occasionally walked in the ridiculously large garden. There was a city next door that was considered a metropolis in the eyes of modern people. The novel world is very interesting. He likes to wander quietly on the streets. Harry will always follow him and chat with him, and sometimes Fatty is also there. They can be considered friends now. Fatty likes comics, but Harry is actually a bit boring...
In terms of life, Peter felt like that young master. It had only been a week, but he was already unable to live without clothes and food.
He now has an extra maid.
Xier.
Xier woke up the day after arriving at Ortiz's territory and recovered well.
After entering the Southern Continent, Edmund helped the seriously injured girl find a church of Order and Holy Spirit. That church seems to believe in some kind of goddess of order, who specializes in healing.
Although Edmund was an Illuminati believer who believed in the sun god, he still had hundreds of millions of people around him, so he still asked a bishop-level priest to take action and rescued Seele from a near-death state.
No one can explain how this orc girl persisted, but Xi'er did recover. The necromancy alchemy left her with scars all over her body, a bald head, and an unknown length of life left, but the elf's powerful vitality still allowed her to stand up, even as if nothing happened.
"Master, you're awake...morning." Xi'er poked her head out from behind the door, saw Peter standing on the balcony, and gently opened the door.
"Oh, morning."
Peter saw her bringing breakfast in, smiled and nodded in response.
Xier wore a thick maid uniform, gloves, a scarf, and a white maid hat on her head, covering her body tightly, leaving only a dark face exposed.
Full of scabs.
There was nothing that could be done about it. It was a miracle that he survived. The bishop said that the disfigurement was really difficult to deal with. Only the top priests could try to repair the scars left by this kind of injury. Xi'er's appearance with only the whites of her eyes was really scary. She even scared many servants of the Duke's family in the first two days after arriving.
She seemed to still have some consciousness in the coma, and she actually knew that Peter had saved him. When she woke up, she decided to repay him by becoming a maid. What was the reason? "Xie'er is just a slave, and she can only be a slave." Hearing such sad words, Peter reluctantly let her go. Anyway, the people in the mansion There are not many maids for her.
He asked Xi'er, "Are you an elf?" Xi'er nodded gently and told him not to tell anyone.
As for why an elf fell into this situation, Xi'er couldn't answer where her parents were. The girl seemed to be much younger than Peter had guessed. She might be an elf orphan, so Peter didn't care. After all, in his impression, the elves were indeed quite disgusting, and it was normal to have a bad life.
Xi'er took over all the work of serving Peter. He had been watching this terrifying appearance for more than a month, so Peter naturally felt no discomfort. After getting along with her for the past few days, I actually felt that this girl was quite well-behaved, maybe she was really made to be a maid.
He doesn't have the temperament of a man, and has nothing for Xi'er to do. He just wants to let her learn at the Duke's house. In the future, he asks Edmund to let Xi'er work as a full-time maid here, which can be regarded as a good job for her. destination.
Peter did not intend to live permanently in the Duke's house.
After he becomes more familiar with this world, he wants to find a suitable place to settle down. Maybe the Duchy is good, but of course he hasn't decided yet.
Peter thought, since they have all come to a different world, let's live a happy life.
So, for Peter, what kind of life should he want?
That should be a life similar to daily animation, he thought to himself.
Find a city you like, surrounded by friendly neighbors... Well, Harry and the others are good.
Raise a cat, or a cute pet with characteristics from another world, build a small house like a courtyard, and wake up naturally with the sun shining on your face every day. You don’t have to worry about work or money. I can spend part of the year seeing the world, of course by taking a train. I am still very yearning for the continents and countries I have never been to.
In a few years, he will find a wife who is compatible with him, preferably a beautiful girl with long black hair and straight hair who looks like a sister, and go on like that.
Maybe you will have some dreams in the process of integrating into this world, so work hard to complete them. Of course, as long as you work hard, it doesn't matter if you can't complete them. Then look for a way to travel back to the earth - in fact, I don't particularly want to find it. , but since we are all free, let’s look for it.
Give birth to one daughter, maybe have a few more, there is no shortage of money, as long as the wife is willing. But the first one must be a daughter, so that the children can have a sister.
When you are gray-haired, you can't help but smile when you recall this life. It would be better if you still have a few things to be proud of. Finally, he died peacefully and was buried with his wife. He carved a pattern of the earth on his grave and wrote an epitaph in Chinese. Oh, and he also wrote "Come, Sweet Death" and let the band play it at the funeral. Song, to make the coolest footnote to his life.
With this thought in mind, Peter sat back in the room, facing the sumptuous breakfast on the table, and began to consider whether to research toothpaste first.
Xi'er stood aside quietly.
The door was suddenly pushed open.
Like a little devil coming to destroy his dreams.
The person who opened the door was a petite girl with brilliant blond hair like wheat ears. She raised her face and snorted coldly——
"It's fair to say that I have caught you... a bastard fish!"
